HOLLAND HOME
Former German Emperor Se
cures Famous Estate for
His Future Home
Doom, Rolland, Oct. 18.—"The
House of Doorn," as the estate re
cently purchased here by the former
German emperor has been called for
centuries, lies right in the midst of
this clean, slow-moving little Dutch
village, whose 3,000 or so inhabitants
while not at all excited about it, are
looking forward with considerable in
terest to numbering among their bur
ghers one William Hohenzollem, for
merly of Pottsdam.
The villagers, along with most per
sons in this section of the country,be
lieve he is coming here to settle down
for life. If that be his intention he
has selected as a voluntary substitute
for St. Helena one of the prettiest
spots in Holland. There is nothing in
the estate he has purchased or in the
surrounding community to suggest a
place of exile.
Doom, like Amerongen, is one of
'Ae few villages in Holland located
on ground that seems to be above the
sea level. Instead of canals and dykes
and the monotonous flat land occu
pied by sleepy-looking black and
white cows and pompous, fat wind
mills which form the unchanging
scenery of most of Holland, the coun
try about Doom, while generally flat,
to be sure, has here and there a faint
suspicion of a hillock, and the white
stone or pink brick roads which wind
quite frequently through forest land
—most of it the private preserves of
the Dutch nobility. Hundreds of au
tomobiles pass through Doom daily
during the summer season, for it is
■on the main highway from Amster
dam and Rotterdam to Amem, which
passes the Hohenzollem estate. From
this road through a long avenue of
«lately trees, is visible one side of
"The House of Doom.'* There is also
a constant procession of cycling tour
ists, and the two main hotels, with
their white painted little veranda cafe
and the "pensions,' 'or boarding
houses, do a rushing business all
through the season. In fact, caring
tor summer tourists seems to be
Doom's only means of livelihood.
The country for miles around is
dotted with handsome villas, summer
Tiomes of wealthy people of Amster
dam or Rotterdam, and the more pre
tentious castles of the Dutch aristoc
*«cy who live there all the year round
«»erging daily from old-time feudal
"«««ties for carriage rides behind slow
hut sure Dutch horses driven by sol
emn looking coachmen in tall black
Tmte. Some of the nobility have auto
«tebilos, and nearly every Hollander
h*s his bicycle.
Doom is quite easy of access to the
tedinary tourist. One travels by ex
P r *** train from Ultrecht, a fifteen
teterenty-minute ride, to the station
®*tehergen. There he boards a train
*f*mall but comfortable cars drawn
^ » steam locomotive only one size
than those operated for chil
dftn in American amusement parks,
W this miniature railroad runs
tewn the highway with its narrow
***ck at the right of the automobile
*ted, toward Doom and Amerongen.
* thirty-minute ride from Drie
and the train, at the melan
signal of a tin horn blown by
j* conductor, stops within a hundred
®*t of the entrance to the estate.
There are no guards about the es
**te now, neither walls nor moats to
teotect the house from the curious
•••ers-by. It is forbidden, however,
in the 200-acre park without
permission, which is not being
just now, as Herr Hohen
a's furniture and art treasures
'"®fty-one big van loads—valued at
J tetething ov er $4.000.000 . are being
ted and placed preparatory to the
on November 1 of the Bar
Van Heemstra de Beaufort,
and the moving in of the former em
peror late in December or early in
January.
ASSESSOR'S EXPLANATION
IS WELL RECEIVED
From the reports coming in from
the parish, the explanation given by
Mr. Andrus, the assessor, that he had
nothing to do with the amount that
the taxpayer was assessed; that he
could only, under the new law, give
a list of property and its actual cash
value, and that the police jury for
the parish placed the amount of each
taxpayer's assessment, by placing a
certain percentage on the actual cash
value that would make the amount of
money that they required for each
year; that the state board of affairs
did the same thing with the assess
ment for the state; after this was
done each taxing authority, such as
parish, state, schools, road, levee,
drainage, Confederate veterans and
state good roads, placed the amount
of mills upon the amount fixed by the
parish and state board to make up the
amount of money each would require
for each year, and the assessor had
no say-so in the matter at all. In
other words, the assessor is only a
clerk to the police jury and the state
board and no one will try to deny
that Mr. Andrus is as good an office
man as you could find anywhere in
( the parish ,and he is fully able to rep
resent you, the taxpayer, before the
state board and the police jury when
ever it becomes necessary for him to
do so. He has ably done this when
he did all that could be done when it
became necessary to place an actual
value on your lands. He succeeded
in getting a low value on all lands
that are selling today for $75 up to
$150. He has those lands at $20,
$25, $30 and $35 and the highest at
$40. Certainly the landowner should
appreciate what his effort has ac
complished. He has also brought mil
lions of dollars of property on the
rolls that had never before paid a
cent of taxes, thereby helping those
who were paying the bulk of taxes.
From all reports, the friends of Mr.
Andrus say the taxpayers are deter
mined to keep him in office, as they
realize he has been their friend and
has worked hard to get all the prop
erty on the rolls in a fair and equal
manner.

DISASTER RELIEF
PLAN PERFECTED
American Red Cross to Pro
vide Local Help.
Committees Soon To Be Ap
pointed in Many Com
munities. !
Do you belong to the Disaster Re
lief Committee in your town?
If you do, or if you are appointed,
it mease that you are considered
brave, considerate, even-tempered
and 3trong. To be appointed to this
committee is one of the highest
honors that the American Red Croea
can bestow upon you; for the Die
aster Relief Committee, recently ex
plained by Harry L. Hopkins, director
of Civilian Relief, Golf Division,
American Red Cross, is the groat
body of straight-thiakiag, quick-aet
iag, dependable persons, organized la
each community to meet disasters
which arise, be they floed, fire, fam
ine, explosion, shipwreck, er earth
quake.
In the thirty-eight years since the
American Red Cross was first sr
ganized m 1881, it has participated
in 180 disaster relief expeditions et
home and abroad and has expended
er directed the expenditure of twelve
end a half million dollare. This eov-j
ers wie period up to June 1st, 1918.
the end of the fiscal year.
America averages a dozen disas
ters a year. Latest statistics com
piled by the Gulf Division, Amsrican
Red Cross, show twelve disasters, and
the Red Cross gave relief in every
one!
In this immsdiate territory there
were grave disasters in recent years
—the Gulf States storm in 1908, the
Mississippi cyclone in 1907, the Mis
sissippi flood in 1912 and the second
flood In 1914. There- was another
flood at Natchez in 1918, and more
floods and the boll weevil menace in
Alabama in 1917. In fact, 1917 was
a bad year for disasters in the South,
for during the summer the tornadoes
at Village Springs and Carbon Hill
and New Hope, Alabama, brought
about much suffering. Everybody in
this vicinity remembers the Lake
Charles, Louisiana, storm in 1918, in
which the Gulf Division Red Cross
furnished such great aid, and at
which time Harry L. Hopkins, direc
tor of civilian relief, went to Lake
Charles and directed the erection of
the tent city. A total of $23,000 was
expended in this disaster alone. And
in 1919 the Corpus Christi, Texas,
storm was robbed of much of its hor
ror through the prompt action of the
Red Cross. „ .
Of these ten disasters in the Gulf
Division in recent yea«, the Red
Croes has given supplies and apenl
money to the extent of approximately
$108,000.
RED CROSS NEEDED.
Give« Mere AM Than Ever to Serv
ie • Mm'i Familie#.
Mon than double the amount ad
money normally spent per month
for the relief of families of service
man was spent during the month of
August by teie Gulf Division of the
American Rite Cross, asserding to a
statement made Saturday by Harrf
L. Hopkins, director of Cieflinn Re
lief. Up t» August, 1919, n total
of $114,624.88 had boon spoaft foe
this work m Alabama, Louisiana and
Mississippi. During August $12,
284.25 was spent for tho same pu»
pose in them states.
"This makes a total,'' said Mr. Hop
kins, "of $128,889.10 expended foi
the relief of families of soldiers hi
the Galf Division, of which sum a
tenth was spent during the month of
August. The reason for this is pri
marily tho fact that most able-bodied
soldiers are discharged by this time
and are fully able to take care of
their families thèmsolves. Hhoso who
remain are to a large degree those
who are still in the hospitals a»d
Who can do nothing for the persona
dependent upon thorn.
"A very significant feature of this
report is tbs striking manner ia
which it emphasizes ths need for the
continuation of the Red Cross work
sven in times of peacs. Obviously, 14
we are spending more for the relief
of soldiers' families in August—near
ly a year after the ending of tho wai
—than we were during the war it
self, our work is far from finished.
"Incidentally, this Home Service
work is only one branch of ths tre
mendous Peace Time program which
the Red Cross has mapped out foi
itself. Tho other deportments are
fully as important to the welfare of
every community in the Gulf States.
It is for this reason that the Red
Cross is holding a third annual roll
call this year, November 2 to 11.
"By the way, R may interest youi
loaders to know that the Gulf Divi
sion, whish includes Alabama, Louis
iana and Mississippi, is ths only divi
sion in the entire country in which a
Home Service has besn established
for every single chapter. There art
1,271 Home Service workers in ths
division, and they gave aid and infor
mation to 15,492 families during Au
gust of this year, which makas ths

WHAT BAPTISTS STAND FOR
CHAPTER 3.
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND'STATE—The feet of indi
vidual responsibility called for freedom of conscience, and thesa two
principles made the Separation of Church and State a necessity.
Baptists hav* stood unflinchingly for this vital principle every
day since Christ established His church on earth. . * • • 1
Baptists might hav* secured toleration for themselves in colonial
days, but they would hav« nothing for themselves that could not be
enjoyed by all. It was not favor hut fairness that they demanded.
Nothing short of absolute divorcement of Church and State was to
them fair and equitable to all alike. Life was not counted^ dear tot
them if their religion must be prescribed by irreligious politician*.
Even to this good day, if by writing one sentence they could
force the whole world into their denomination, they would not writ#
that sentence.
We return to the good old time next Sunday« when a*I timapieces
